My current 2005 coupe is my first and only Corvette. I ordered it from the factory when I was 53.

Bought my first (99 Coupe) at age 43...



Bought my second (2002 Convertible) three years later...



Bought my Vette pickup (LS2 powered SSR) four years after that...


Sold the silver Vert and bought a triple black 99 in Feb 08 for $10K less..


That $10K windfall made buying my C6Z MUCH less painful


Here they are all together

First and only Vette and I bought it two months ago. I am 30.....

Never thought I'd buy one because I never cared for the interior but when this one was offered at such a ridiculous price I couldn't turn it down. Now I wonder why I waited so long, the last thing I ever think about is the interior.

My first was 2 years ago @ 46...and although it's still costin' me, I have had more fun with this car than any car that I have owned. I was looking for an older Viper, then I drove this '05 C6 Lingenfelter
